TUESDAY - Nothing going on a typical week day just rolling bye .

THURSDAY -Did the back garden patio and white gravel with the sodium hypochlorite it took the two five litre tubs neat poured through the watering can wait half an hour and hosed off all the alga , moss and green stuff totally vanquished gone so easy looks like a new freshly laid patio .I have ordered another two five litres and a pressure spray to apply it to the areas effected .

FRIDAY - Bought Helen the Medium game it was never available for X-box one so now I have a ps5 I bought it for that hopefully its a good game .

SNOWED IN

TUESDAY - Went out and bought a new twin bin from Dunelm its similar to the one we have the peddles are different and this ones black which look good with the white shutters £70 nothing is cheap anymore .We also bought a new mop bucket for the living room laminate flooring , it was half price .All the shutters are finished all in place and sealed and all looking good .Decided to have the kitchen window done we was not bothered when we ordered the shutters now we want it doing £320 be nine to eleven weeks .

Bought the game for Ps5 "Uncharted Legacy Of Thieves " got it mainly because it reminded me of Tomb Raider games and I am not really  liking the  "Ghost Of Yotei", Set up my Air book to remote play games looks well good .I also bought a add on keyboard and case for my Kindle fire tablet works well it is also back light board good for the night .

THURSDAY - Snowing again started in the afternoon says it will last until three in the morning rang in work said I wouldn't be coming in cant risk getting the car stuck and not  to get not have any way of getting home walking Miles and miles in the snow is not an option as I doubt I would make it .They will just have to do without me .Ordered three T-shirts from Joe Browns one is long sleeved similar to one I already have but in red .My ps5 game Uncharted came will not install it yet .Two games I am looking at is Reanimal and the Res evil . 

FRIDAY - It is raining looks like the snow will melt and  get washed away by the time I go to work if it changes from rain to snow then chances are no work  again today .I went to work it was ok least its the weekend .

SHUTTERS UP

 FRIDAY - Woke up to a snowy street and roof tops it is not too bad it i snow lightly raining so I cant see the snow lasting long which is good .

latest buys on Amazon Helen bought another Ninja Crispi air fryer and I bought a foldable blue tooth keyboard with track pad and for the price of £21.99 its very good .

By late afternoon all of the snow had more or less vanished which is good make getting to and from home a lot more easier and safer .

SUNDAY - Went to Dearne Valley farm for Sunday dinner we thought it be a nice quaint family run Inn with fresh food it was a carvery some what like Toby carvery we ate there anyway it was £28 for the both of us no drinks they had three meats , beef , turkey and ham we had all three. There was mash potatoes , parsnips and roast potatoes stuffing and other veg like carrots , and broccoli .To be fair it was ok nothing earth shattering a steady six out of ten doubt we will ever go there again on the way there we saw another couple of pubs to try out at a later day .

MONDAY - The lad from Kestrel Blinds came to start fitting the shutters starting on the patio doors very professional high standards all the gear nice clean job the blinds look well good makes a big difference to the appearance of the room we now have no curtain poles or curtains on any of the windows .At night our bedroom is a lot darker we left the top section opening to see the night sky.

 

THE DOGS ATE IT

 SATURDAY - Painted the kitchen we was going to do it the same colour has the main living room but we must have used it  all , so I painted it brilliant white instead cleaned the tops of the units and work tops had to move everything off the pan rack and off the windows ledges and worktops took a good few hours to get it all done .Longer than I thought we had a late tea of steak jacket potatoes and four cheese spread .

SUNDAY - Went to Acaster Malbis picked Helens parents up and her cousin Sharon and went to the Ship Inn , the river Ouse had risen and the car park was totally  flooded we all had a Sunday Lunch I had the trio of meat why have one when you can have three it came with Yorkshire pudding , roast potatoes and red cabbage , swede , parsnips and carrots for desert I had the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream for the size of fudge cake it should have come with two scoops of ice cream rather than one but apart from that the meal was very good three ordered the roast beef which was pink in the middle which not everyone likes it cooked this way plus it was tough her mother requested a steak knife .We went home with a doggie bag full of beef the dogs loved it .

On the way home I stopped of in Kippax to drop a birthday card of for my daughter her birthday is on the 27th next Tuesday she will be 34 years of age .
